Disinfect or Die But Playable

Description
This is a customized version of the mod Disinfect or Die that makes it more playable.

Even if you change the Dirty Bandages for some reason you could randomly catch an infection and sometimes your life keeps ticking down even when not infected and not dirty bandaged.

This version is tuned to do half the damage of the Very Low setting in the original mod.
And additionally takes 9 more "One Minute Ticks" for a Dirty Bandage to cause a wound infection.

Just trying things out until it feels right. Made it for myself mainly.

--------------------- From the Original Mod ---------------------

Makes the first aid system more realistic in a simple way:

- Wearing dirty bandages on bleeding wounds increases chance of infection
- Infected wounds are more dangerous
- Wearing dirty bandages on infected wounds is sometimes a death sentence, often causing more health loss than wearing no bandage at all
- Sterilizing bandages has a purpose!
- No penalty for wearing a dirty bandage if you're not bleeding

Ordinarily, washing bandages and keeping disinfectant is almost entirely pointless. With the extra danger it's very helpful. If you pay attention (injured moodle, heart icon shaking, etc) you'll be fine, probably. The well-fed buff is useful if you need extra healing. And there's nothing stopping you from replacing a bandage before it gets dirty if you catch a break.

@NerdgamerDave That has not been my experience at all on 1 hour long game day which is what most people play. I don't think many people play 4 hour long game days tho.

Multiple game sessions on the Very Low setting and Insane Rare Loot did not provide a fun gameplay experience, so I was trying to tune it so that it's a bit more realistic and give you time to play and find food, antibiotics or a way to disinfect.

Because even if you change the Dirty Bandages for some reason you could randomly catch an infection and sometimes your life keeps ticking down even when not infected and not dirty bandaged.

Anyway, this version is half the damage of the Very Low setting in the original mod. And 9 "One Minute Ticks" more for a wound to get infected from a Dirty Bandage. Just trying stuff out until it feels right.

Anyway, since you're playing on 4 hour long days the original mod might be fine for you, makes sense. With 1 hour long days everything goes 4x faster if you think about it.

I have Disinfect Or Die and am curious as to what changes you made.

In "Normal' mode, you lose about 1 hit point every 10 game minutes when wearing a dirty bandage on a bleeding and infected wound. Meaining with a 4 hour long game day, you can see your hit points dropping visually and die in around 1 game hour.

In "low" it takes about 3 game hours.

Plenty of time to find new bandages, clean one's and food to stay fed and healthy.

How does this one differ?

Basically, health loss is slower than the lowest setting in the mod.
